Thomas Flaherty Electric

Thomas Flaherty Electric is Tom Flaherty working out of 963 Hanover St in Hanover, and the jobs customers describe are the ordinary electrical work of South Shore houses: a dead relay switch, a blown kitchen fuse, smoke and carbon-monoxide alarms, new lighting, a service upgrade. What comes up most is that he turns up. One household blew a fuse right after a big grocery run, with a toddler waiting on dinner, and said he was the only electrician they called who came out after hours. Another had their problem handled a day after calling, coordinated through their father while they were travelling. A third sent photos of a broken light switch, heard back the same day, and had him arrive two days later with the parts already in hand. Older houses are a recurring theme. One owner of an 1840s home, where the wiring is tricky, said he did extra work at no additional cost. Another described a substantial job on a 100-year-old house — kitchen and bath remodel wiring, LED lighting through the living room, and a full service replacement up to 200 amps — and credited him with balancing modern upgrades against old construction. One customer noted he spent more than four hours tracing faults in their wiring and still charged what they considered reasonable. Pricing and clean-up draw steady praise: quotes explained up front, scope and timeline laid out before work starts, and job sites left tidy. Several customers say they asked him back or intend to. The caveat is how young the public record is. All nineteen reviews were posted between late May and late July 2026, all five stars, and no other source carries this business — no website, no directory listing, no published licence record. That is not a mark against the work described, but it is a thin base to lean on. A good fit for household electrical repairs, alarms and lighting on the South Shore, especially in an older house. Before booking, ask for his Massachusetts master electrician licence number and confirm it directly with the state, and get the quote in writing.
